4 Questions Christian Leaders Should Ask
LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM EXILE & RETURN
Leslie Rance
BSF Guest Contributor
Whether we lead in our homes, at the office, or elsewhere, God has placed each of us in a position of influence.
After decades in business, I’ve read countless books about leadership. But one book, more than any other, provides vital guidance for leaders in any field and at any stage of life: the Bible. Through God’s Word, we discover practical wisdom, unexpected truth, and much needed guidance as we navigate leadership challenges in today’s culture.
Through this year’s BSF study, God has used these key questions to shape my own view of leadership. I hope they can help you too.
When do I hesitate to speak up and why?
Ezekiel was a prophetic leader who spoke truth with courage, even when it was deeply inconvenient. He was called to speak truth to the stubborn rebellious people of Israel exiled in Babylon. God’s charge to Ezekiel was clear “You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen” (Ezekiel 2:7).
Truth, even when it’s spoken, is not always heard.
God then reminds His people that restoration is His work alone, done not because they deserve it, but for the sake of His holy name (Ezekiel 36:22-23).
In today’s culture, when it can be hard to speak God’s truth, we can learn from Ezekiel. Do you ever hesitate to speak the truth because of what it might cost you? I certainly have. At times, I still feel uncomfortable speaking out boldly.
Truth, even when it’s spoken, is not always heard. How freeing it is to realize that speaking truth is an act of faithfulness to God, not a calculation of people’s reactions or personal cost. Our responsibility is obedience, and the outcome belongs to God.
What role does prayer play in my leadership?
It is often said that leadership begins in private before it’s experienced in public. Daniel teaches us that prayer forges intimacy with God. It is not an accessory to leadership, but the very foundation.
Daniel was gifted with remarkable ability. He was among those “showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace” (Daniel 1:4). Yet he acted humbly and relied on God. He prayed consistently, not just in difficult times. He didn’t assume a task was ever easy enough to handle without praying—even when praying placed him at huge risk.
Daniel’s private devotion helped shape his public conviction. He trusted God and acknowledged Him always. Seeking no personal reward, Daniel recognized that everything—his talent, his position, his influence—came from God.
In my own life, I can easily forget to appreciate God’s gifts in success, while depending on my strength in challenges. Daniel shows us that consistent prayer fosters true gratitude toward God and increased dependence on Him.
Daniel's private devotion helped shape his public conviction.
Should I realign my priorities?
In my early career, I devoted myself to my profession and was regarded as an “expert” in my field. I took pride in how well I understood the Information Technology systems we worked with. I loved the work. However, it soon became the source of my security and provision.
Ezra, on the other hand, “had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel” (Ezra 7:10).
This prompts the question: What if I pursued knowing God as intensely as mastering my craft? Understanding who God is would have shown me that He, not my own expertise, is the true source of my talent and provision.
Sadly, in those early years, mastery of my profession had not always led me closer to God; in fact, it often drew me away from Him. Ezra’s example inspires devotion to God who fittingly orders all things.
How is God using others in my life, and am I willing to listen?
There have been times when I have tried to avoid a leadership role placed before me. I either felt unprepared, was too busy, or just felt overwhelmed. Whatever the reason, I was quick to say, “Surely this isn’t for me.”
But like Esther, who was challenged by Mordecai, I have had to confront the question: What if God has placed me right here “for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14).
I love how God often uses those close to us to challenge our reluctance, encourage our faith, and help us see the role He is calling us to play.
And when Esther finally stepped forward, she did not rely on position or intellect alone. Esther relied on God, and she leant on the support of others. She fasted first, asking her people to do so alongside her, saying, “I will go to the king…and if I perish, I perish” (Esther 4:16).
True leadership is not the absence of fear but faithful obedience in the face of fear.
In her humble surrender to God, through Mordecai’s counsel, Esther was strengthened with courage and wisdom. And God used her obedience to bring deliverance to the Jewish people. Esther’s example shows me that true leadership is not the absence of fear but faithful obedience in the face of fear.
Taken together, the lives of Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, and Esther highlight the importance of leadership built on obedience, prayer, and devotion to God. As we look ahead to our study of Nehemiah, we will discover that God calls each of us to lead with purpose and perseverance.
Wherever God has called you, I hope you are inspired to seek Him as the source of your confidence and strength. I hope you have set aside the time to pray and study God’s Word. Because a life built on Christ prepares us to lead wherever we are called.

Thanks for this summary on what to learn from each of this people in the Bible Ezekiel, Daniel,Ezra and Esther.Each had a unique responsibility and All moved forward by Faith in God.
You have put it right faithful obedience in the midst fear and God will strengthen me
Thanks God bless you
The study has been very helpful. Challenges me to read more of God’s word. Thank you 🙏
I really love the BSF Bible Study. I am learning so much now from the Old Testament Study we are in! Thank you for making this available to us!
It all comes down to putting God first in our lives and listening for the Holy Spirit to speak to us. I find I need to say “speak a little louder Lord, I am rather hard of hearing
THANKS WONDERFUL DONE
This was very timely for me as I looked back at the people that we studied. This article summarized their focus on the Lord. It also challenged me to remember God in the work that I do.
Challenging and encouraging. Thank you!
Timely Encouragement and Timely Warning of waywardness as well.
Thank you Leslie!
I’m much encouraged;My responsability is obedience, the outcome belongs to God; and I wanna face fear with faithful obedience;
God bless you and you family
Thank you so timely
Wonderful clear and meaningful commentary by Leslie Rance. Made the recent study even more helpful to understand and appreciate!
Wonderfully said!
A good word, thank you brother!
Why are we usually amazed when God confirms what He is saying, how He is directing. I just purchased a book addressing some of these same challenges in leadership. Thank you for the culturally relevant article based on God’s Word.
BSF has made me grow Spiritually. It is a blessing to me.
Blessing had been encouraged and more deep understanding about our Father in Heaven
Very beautiful article,addressing the questions most of us ask ourselves,especially on the fear of speaking up.Thanks for the encouragement. God bless you.
Thank you!
Thank you
I am truly inspired by the truths and timely principles to live by whether leading at home, work or serving somewhere in the world.
As a Peace Corps volunteer serving abroad, I am reminded that God can use me like He used Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra and Esther.
Blessings to you, your wife and god-fearing sons. It takes a true spiritual leader to lead a godly family. All glory to God!
I love this “true leadership is not the absence of fear but the faithful obedience in the face of fear.” I have found this to be true. God supplies everything we need and builds our faith and courage as we continually say “yes” to Him even when, no especially when, it’s scary.
Thank you so much for this reminder and gentle nudge to speak out at times when I would rather stay silent…so I don’t offend. There are times when silence is golden….but not always, especially when the truth needs to be spoken!!
Thank you this inspiring message. I truly appreciate the statement – speaking the truth is an act of faithfulness to God. If more believers would act on speaking the truth of God , we would be living in a more godly history.
I began my journey with BSF in 2004 after some prodding from in-laws who drove 55 miles each way to attend BSF classes with myself and my wife each Monday evening. God works in mysterious ways showing His steadfast love for His flock. I have read the Bible cover to cover dozens of times but never absorbed the intimate details God preserved in His Word. Like the children of Israel, I was a wayward child who needed a deeper understanding of God’s love. Today, 22 years later, I am overjoyed in God’s Word and as BSF GL online for several years, I desire to understand and apply His promises. Ezekiel spoke boldly to stubborn people who sinned against God. I hope to speak boldly the gospel to those whom the Holy Spirit places in my path.
I was recently asked to consider being a discussion leader. I was a discussion leader years ago. I was praying this morning for guidance from the LORD when later I spotted this email/blog. I think I now have the answer of where the LORD is leading me. It has been many years since I attended BSF. I returned this year. Maybe it is for such a time as this that I am now in BSF. It is “faithful obedience in the face of fear.” Obedience and dependence on the LORD is all that I need.
BSF has been very Importand for my spiritual grow!
I have learn so much and I appreciate the opportunity
BSF give all of us presenting such a wonderful studies
Amen and thank you, the words about “why do I hesitate to speak up” spoke to my heart, thank you
I am 86 years old and have been a Christian for three years. I was struggling to find something that expresses how I felt about this article when I read your post, Beulah. Thank you.
Daniel teaches us that prayer forges intimacy with God. It is not an accessory to leadership, but the very foundation. My prayer is that prayer will become the very foundation of everything I do – not an accessory or after-thought.
Excellent, timely words totally incorporating what we wave been studying…👍
Muy inspirador su mensaje . Me encanta como explica usando las comparaciones de los libros es claro y conciso. Dios lo bendiga a usted y a su familia.
Translation: His message is very inspiring. I love how he explains things using book analogies; it’s clear and concise. God bless you and your family.
”…speaking truth is an act of faithfulness to God, not a calculation of people’s reactions or personal cost…” This has indeed transformed by thinking and fear of speaking the truth as faith leader especially in African context full in insecurity both in political and economic battle fields.
Would you expand more about the African context full in insecurity both in political and economic battle fields,thanks
This is quite a well articulated article drawn from the 4 books and relevantly relating to our daily lives in whichever position we are at. Thank you Leslie for sharing. Much appreciated for action.
Thank you so much. God is teaching me about how important prayer is. “It is not to assume a task is ever easy enough to handle without praying” – this is really for me today.
God bless you!
Thank you, Leslie Rance, for your encouraging and very well-written words. What touches me the most, however, are the comments about your article. I am so grateful to read the messages from my sisters and brothers in Christ all over the world. Saints, we are not alone! We have a relationship with the King of kings, the Lord of lords and, because of Jesus, with each other. What a family we have in Christ!
I happily realize that a biblical education from BSF is a truthful influence to share and confirm in discussions to identify false prophets.
As the People of Promise,
I have few Christians who believe God does what he does to protect His Holy name, His very character in dwelling among His people.
.
I am not in a leadership role, yet I read this article several times. It adds great insight to the stories we’ve read thus far.
Thank you for sharing
Wow!! Even if I tried, I would not be able to capture just how much your heartfelt, Spirit-filled and Spirit-led, article is so perfectly timed with incredible wisdom! For me this is perfectly timed – by God – and imparted to you – for such a time as this! I can use so much of your wisdom and everyone’s profoundly deep and insightful reflections and comments, spurred on by your article.
In short, THANK YOU so much for sharing your gifts from God, with sisters and brothers who walk with you as the Lord guides our steps and directs our paths.
Soli Deo Gloria! Bless you and your dear wife as you serve the Lord together!!
I love the Word of God and which is alive and active. It gives me courage and assurance in every moment and situation that I face. As a GL it gives me the opportunity to study the bible indepth and apply it. Studying the minor and major prophets has given me immense satisfaction and joy in knowing the tapestry God’s beautiful story like a string which joins all the pearls together.
Not absence of fear but complete reliance on him, for him through it all. This to me sounds a surrendered life.
Amazing.
Leslie Rance’s blog is wonderful. Even though I’ve been through each of these studies, sometimes my understanding is not very deep. This writing show just how conviction & obedience put into action gives us solid footing in our faith-walk. Thank you Leslie.
Prayer is the essential thing. God is our source. Excellent article. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent article, Leslie. Drawing a question and its answer from the four books seems inspired. (And God does inspire us!)
truly tremendous writing. thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this article. I am a BSF leader and needed this encouragement. I know the LORD has called me to this leadership role but, i have been struggling with many doubts. Am I qualified? Do I understand all that I need to, to lead my beautiful group? The answer is yes. I was not giving my first love, Christ, my all. Through Haggai and your blog I have rediscovered what I need to change in my life and realign my priorities. An adjustment of priorities. Blessings to you and your wife.
Thank you for sharing the word.l feel encouraged to always standby the truth even when in doubt and fear. I pray to God for guidance. Amen
Jane
Wow! — this is so thoroughly insightful and encouraging. Praying that God would grant me a deeper understanding of His Word and give me courage to make Him my #1 priority, obey, speak, and lead faithfully, trusting Him with the outcomes.
Thank you so much. this is really insightfull. it will help me to reoriente my priorities as a believer, trust Him and do His work.
This is awesome and very inspiring and informative, thankyou for sharing.
I have never had good communication skills and clam up. I struggle with the right way to say something and some family don’t speak to me because of things I have said. I am learning how to say the right things at the right time and learning to trust Him in all this.
This article really spoke to me, I lack confidence in sharing God’s message of salvation. Also my son has suffered for years with substance abuse, he is a believer but never taken the time to read and study the word. Trying to get well on his own. I plan to share this with him.
Thank you
GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS AND FOR BSF FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP & GUIDANCE AS WE WALK IN HIS LIGHT EVERY DAY.
Your article was excellent! I am a new group leader. At times i get overwhelmed with all that we learn at leaders training each week. Then I remind myself that I am not doing this on my own and that God is with me and guides me. Like God spoke thru Haggai to the people be strong and go to work and I am with you! I am so glad I said yes to this calling! thank you so much for your inspirational blog.
Amen, Amen The truth must spoken and lived.
THIS was such an encouragement & beautiful reminder of God’s Provision, Purpose, Protection, & Providence, as we walk in obedience, trusting HIM with HIS Outcome! Thank you! GOD IS FAITHFUL IN ALL THINGS!!!🙌🏼🕊
Thank you. As I started my morning in quiet time Leslie’s comments refreshed the recent lessons our BSF class has studied. God works through us all and at times we may not expect. In our own individual ways we are all called to be leaders for Christ.
Thank you so much, Leslie. At the start of this week, I became anxious about my work and felt I was not doing enough or not where I am supposed to be. Your sharing has brought me assurance that work comes from God, and if anything is not right with it, I should go back to him. I should cease to exalt it or give it higher priority than my prayer life. When I am in relationship, I am comforted that he will take care of all aspects.
Thank you so much for helping me revisit these important things, helping me understand how to apply them to my life and build a better relationship with God.
I’ve learned these principles to express my thoughts boldly because I know that truth is about faithfulness to God, not about considering the reactions of others.
My main point is that I sometimes find it difficult to express myself boldly and handle things in the way God teaches. My son and husband haven’t truly trusted in Jesus yet, so they disagree, and that makes me very unhappy.
I often shy away from leadership roles. I tell myself I’m not adequately equipped to do an excellent job. I need to be convicted that it is God who leads and will consistently pilot me as I put Him at the center of my life each day.
Very inspiring lessons from Daniel, Ezra, Ezekiel and Esther, and of course your experience. Relying on God in my Leadership, saying the truth even if it is not heard.
Thanks for the blogpost, very much appreciated.
Already in a class at Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Thanks so much Mr. Rance for this insightful and uplifting message! You have clearly brought out a key take home message for me…God calls us to lead with purpose and perseverance! This indeed necessitates consistent praying and studying of God’s Word!
Esther:I used to feel embarrassed, even ashamed. to confess that I often pass up some responsibilities out of fear of failure or not doing God’s work well! But thanks be to God for Esther’s example and Leslie Rance’s affirmation that “True leadership is not the absence of fear but faithful obedience in the face of fear.”
I am encouraged to trust Almighty God the more,relying on His Unchanging Word,the Lord Jesus Christ,the Holy Spirit, His Promises and Presence and the testimonies of His saints, to tackle the tasks He has given me.
To our Sovereign, Triune God alone be all the Glory!!!
Thank you for this blog. It blessed my heart. God is so good.!
My prayer is that I will find a place that God wants me to lead. Let me listen to where he is sending me. With an open heart I am searching for this opportunity to be God’s instrument for his people. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Thank you Leslie Rance for this exhortation. It is full of wisdom and practical insights to reflect upon, take to heart and obey.
Thank you for these encouraging words.
Thank you for sharing this. It is profound and inspiring. I will definitely reflect on the four questions in relation to my life as I pray to God to help me apply the lessons learnt.
Excellent insight and provoking ways towards using them in our contemporary lives for our betterment and others.
I have been blessed by your sharing, Leslie.
Leslie Rances’ piece on Leadership and Faith, really spoke to me in a powerful way. God has surrounded me with Jewish friends. I have tried to tell them about the work Jesus did at the cross, as a final sacrifice. They do not want me to preach, they are not interested in Jesus, they do not believe He is God or Gods son. But Mr. Rance has shown me I was placed among Jewish women to tell them the Gospel whether they accept it or reject it. It is so difficult, as there are times they listen and times they do not. I was reminded that I must continue as God has placed me among them.
GOD is always with me. Last June I was heading for a motorcycle rally in Tennessee… however pouring rain and I was praying… Blind ride.. Tires lost traction and down I went! GOD had everyone ready! Police officer yelled at me, “Why are your riding in the rain!” I didn’t answer.. then he asks, “Do you want to got to the hospital and get checked?” I nodded… I have been on blood thinners for over 10 years. Ambulance arrived, I called my wife … I was told I had a hematoma on my right hip. GOD protected for sure. No other damages. Motorcycle still runs.. GOD be praised. I had asked “IF I have this hematoma… does a woman have a hermatoma?” NO fear… GOD reigns… speaking about who was with me that day! praying all the time. i have been riding for Jesus over 595,000 miles. First accident.
What a wonderful eye opener blog. Even I realised the faults in my leadership role
Thanks for your post. I am going to keep asking myself these questions. I needed this.
Leslie’s blog is excellent. I ask myself those 4 questions and I need to do so much better living out my Christian life. Everyone can benefit from this blog! Well done!
Leslie’s message encouraged me & helped me to continue to challenge & exhort the high schoolers God has given me to teach.
Thanks Mr. Rance, it is such an encouraging blog. It is always such a blessing to read words of godly wisdom.
Thank you! This is my first year in a leadership position for BSF.
I appreciate your blog and insights .
Thank you for this wonderful post. It gives me so much to meditate on! And it came at a perfect time. I have just been asked to lead a Bible study for ladies at my church. I have a toddler, we’re expecting a second baby, my husband has chronic health challenges, and I’m helping him with our two businesses.
I didn’t want to reject this call to service, but I have questioned if it’s really the right timing to take yet another thing on.
I just sent a text to my pastor’s wife, accepting the responsibility to lead the Bible study, and then opened this article in my email.
The first line caught my attention:
“Whether we lead in our homes, at the office, or elsewhere, God has placed each of us in a position of influence.”
The more I read, the more seemed to apply to me and seemed to be a comforting confirmation that God will provide the time, energy and ability for this new assignment.
The insights brought out about each character – especially Daniel and Esther – provide guidance and clarity as to what the most important things are to realize and focus on: dependence on God, private prayer as the foundation for any public service… I’m challenged to remember the “importance of leadership built on obedience, prayer, and devotion to God.”
Thank you for sharing this post! It has truly blessed and helped me. God bless you!
Thanks very much on your input on these Bible verses. Explaining them in only Gods love for us. We are His people and He knows what we need. We only need to ask and He will bless us. Esther is a great example of obedience. Thank for your blog.
True relationship draws me to His Word daily
It was great to take a look at these leaders side by side to gleen helpful insight as to qualities God desires for us! Thank you so much for sharing! I loved that you reminded me that my obedience to speak is what God wants, the results are in His hands. Such a personal God we serve.
Mahalo
I really apprecate these words of encouragements, and reminders that being shared. One thing i Love about BSF is our sharings in the small group discussions. That is where Real Life is all about coming from different walks of life and the power of acknowledging that because of having faith in Christ it is what it is now.
Hi I am forever greatful for BSF!
Very helpful
Thank you Mr Rance
Thank you!
It was exactly what I needed to hear. God bless you!
You have given me food for thought, and reinforced what I know to be true; very convicting. I do hesitate to share the gospel when it means risking a relationship ie family. Prayer is definitely key!
I found these 4 questions so challenging and the examples from our present studies put together in this way so clear. Thank you brother Leslie.
Thanks to Mr. Rance for taking the time to share your thoughts. It allowed me to think more on how God used Esther and Mordecai, specifically Esther who was just following the directive of her cousin.
It clearly reflects how important it is to be obedient to God.
Thank you for following God’s guidance as you live out your walk with Christ our savior.
Thank you Leslie! Your story is inspiring and challenging as you willingly show areas where God used his word to bring you to the place He wanted you to be through the lessons and applications to real-life circumstances. Blessed to be a blessing!!
So insightful and encouraging. Thank you for your wise words!
Right on! Too often God has to use affliction to get our attention and turn us to these questions and their answers. Psalm 119:67,71,75, and 92-93. Praise the Lord for HIs faithfulness in always working to draw us back to Himself!
This is very helpful. I have been asked to participate on our churches financial committee today for the first time and I am hesitant, but I don’t won’t my fear to keep me from God’s best for me. I hope to learn a lot as I sit and listen.
Thank You for your Blog,I Love BSF and our Monday Night studies,We have an awesome zoom leader in Madeline Mikel,she is the best
Thank you for helping me understand the connections of these 4 books of the Bible.
Thank you for the encouragement from your blog. So many things to think through and evaluate. I love my BSF group!
I
I love BSF blogs! Thank you Lance! Very thought provoking on each of the books we’ve studied so far. Now with Haggai, I will consider my ways and seek God first! Obey and build his temple with His word, for His glory who offers peace because He is with us.
The blog is very practical. Yes obedience, devotion and prayer help to imbibe the spirit of leadership. Thank you very much for the blog.
Thank you. very inspiring, and convicting I needed this.
Thank you for sharing this blogpost — it truly blessed me today! God truly knows the heart issues we struggle with as those He called in leadership roles. I have always been a fearful person but now I know that it’s okay, as long as I remain faithfully obedient to God in the face of my fears.
Thank you, Mr. Rance, for sharing your insight on this topic. It leaves me with much to ponder, and the application of these questions.
I usually pray for time management and the Lord’s leading in all aspects of my life. I’ve learned through Ezra that “busy” doesn’t mean being productive. I’ve removed all my social media through a 3 wk fasting with my church. How wonderful to realize that I’m not really missing much and to see God work in my life & helped me find the time I needed to better serve a worthy God.Because of my obedient heart, and seeking the Lord , He has truly blessed me. To God all honor & praise.
This was awesome. A lot to think about.
“4 Questions Christian Leaders Should Ask” is an outstanding article, summarizing some of the key conclusions men in our discussion group can grab hold of and apply.
Leslie Rance
Commentary and Lessons on : Leadership Lessons from Exile and Return stir up my courage to pray for when silence needed and when to speak like Ezekiel.
After reading this I’m prompted, in light of Ezra’s example, to reexamine and de-prioritise my distractions. And, in light of Esther’s example, to lean more intentionally into the wisdom of an older lady whom I’m meeting with today by noting down some transformative questions to ask her. Thank you for these quality blog posts that invite immediate application 🙏🏻
Dear Leslie,many thanks for such a well written article on Leadership that extensively covers the importance of Prayer as our foundation and challenge ourselves in the same way that Mordecai challenged Esther in (Esther 4:14) and Esther’s response in Esther (Esther 4:16).
Your story along lifes journey has inspired me tremendously and I give praise and much thanks to God our loving Heavenly Father and to Jesus and the Holy Spirit for your encouraging words.
Kind Regards and Blessings,
Dereck Wallace
I would love to use a few of his comments when I speak to the district executive BOD of our Lutheran Women in Mission of which I am one of 40 district presidents.
Sandie – we would love for you to share!
Inspiring
Our responsibility is Obedience…The outcomes belong to God.
Many times I want to have my convenience , run away from obedience or partially obey, hiding in my weakness as a human yet clearly knowing I have run away from it, expecting God to understand and still bring the outcomes. I learn that’s it’s my responsibility to obey.. that is where the cost is…
Very deep insight and inspiring truths on leadership.
All good
